She could very well get the part, I mean isn't this sort of how Evans was casted as Cap? Plus I think the other question is would she be willing to do a multi-picture deal?

You're right, this is almost exactly how the Chris Evans casting went. A few others were rumored, but as soon as his name was mentioned, it just made sense. As much as I like many of the other actresses who've been mentioned(Kendrick, Brie, Palmer), Winstead as Sharon Carter would just be inspired casting... She's the perfect choice for the character! She's drop dead gorgeous(and looks like she could be related to Atwell's character), she's an amazing actress(with an extremely wide range), and the best part... she looks like she could convincingly play Sharon as an experienced badass S.H.E.I.L.D agent! I always kinda' wanted to see her in the role, but never thought it would happen. I just hope to God that it DOES end up happening!

I don't think the multi-picture deal will be a huge issue as I think Sharon will most likely only be confined to the Captain America and Avengers films.

Well not bad casting with MEW, but I feel that she should play a more leading lady - ie an actual superpowered comic character than just someone's love interest. She would work for a number of superheroines. We keep seeing love interests or agents cast but no superpowered female.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead was my #1 choice for Janet Van Dyne. I'm happy to see her in a MCU role, just would've preferred Jan.

As one of those vocal 'she's too young' people, I would that MEW puts me at ease. I've only seen her in Death Proof and Scott Pilgrim, neither of which build her up in my estimation, but if she is cast, I'd probably be cool with it.

She kinda talked about a multi-pic deal in a recent interview while promoting Smashed:

Now that youíve done such a big drama, whatís next? Rom-com? Adventure? I know youíve seemingly been passed over for some of those big blockbuster roles, including Cobie Smuldersí role in The Avengers. But if you took that role, do you think you would be where you are now? And do you have any hopes to be that big blockbuster star?
Yeah, I mean, itís funny, because some of those roles ó well, the majority of them, I was just plain passed over for them [Laughs] ó but some of them I actually chose not to do as well because I donít really just want to be the blockbuster star, and I donít necessarily want to sign onto seven films in a role that Iím not really passionate about. Thatís actually happened several times as well, where in the news it sort of seems like, ĎOh, she lost the part,í but in reality, it just falls apart in the negotiation process and you realize that this isnít really something Iím passionate enough about to agree to ĎX, X, and X,í and sign the contract on. [Laughs] So thatís happened a bunch, too. Because I do really want to do films like this. Thatís the majority of stuff I want to do.

I was just remembering --- this would be a reunion of sorts for MEW and Chris Evans. He was one of her Exes in Scott Pilgrim. So there's probably a comfort zone there for both of them, and hopefully chemistry as well.

And I'd prefer Sharon to be a brunette now....MEW is just too hot with the dark hair. I don't think she'd look right as a blonde.

Agreed. Just because Sharon was blonde in the comics doesn't mean that she has to be a blonde in the movies. It's not like her hair color is important to the plot, so they should just go with whatever looks best on the the actress, which in MEW's case would be brown.

Peggy was also a blonde in the comics yet in the film adaptation "The First Avenger" Hayley didn't dye her hair she keep as a luscious brunette and it worked out prefect. so MEW can stay a brunette as well just like her aunt.

I know she's been a fan-favorite for Mary Jane Watson for what seems like an eternity, but I like THIS potential casting much better. MEW would be a great Sharon Carter. I also think she's a better option than the others we've heard so far (even though I did like them). Ironic that we'd be getting this news the same week someone else was finally offered the role of the new MJ.
